How big is it? Could you perhaps contact me on IRC (Quakenet). I'm in #punbb.

I do not have the php knowledge that I thought I had to make a converter. If Cactuz wishes to do a converter, props to you man. It's hard as hell.

I've been wondering if there is a better solution than the LIKE operator before, never found any good solution...

The search index is there for a number of reasons. Primarily because searching directly in the posts-table with the LIKE operator is very slow.

PunBB and phpBB both have tables in the db for searching. On my PunBB forum, I have disabled searching. Are those tables really necessary? If so, what exactly is their purpose? I don't quite understand why have tables for when searching for data. When you could just do a query into the post tables to find what you are looking for.

Unfortunately, there aren't any converters at all. I am however looking for someone interested in doing one :)
